Daniel Zurenski is 40 (or so) and lives in the same basement room he's been in since he moved out of the crib, he has an okay job (not that many coworkers are aware he exists, but the job is okay), and is pretty out-of-shape. He seems to be an all-right guy who maybe has a problem with emotional eating, zero love life, and a less-than-healthy attachment to his mother. He's on a little bit of a fitness kick at the moment -- he ran a 5K with people from his office a few weeks back and now finds himself signed up for the city marathon.
But before he can get there, comedy strikes. Poor Daniel. But ultimately, good for Daniel (see the title, you know it's going to have a happy ending). But before the good, comes a lot of . . . well, things he can laugh about later -- and the reader can laugh at now.
Before we get to that, however, we have to get through some more character introductions, which are really just ways for Randall to set up some dominoes to knock over when the time is right. This is done pretty well, at a certain point, you understand just what he's setting things up for, and the details approach overkill. But stay with him -- they're really not that bad, and everything he sets up has a purpose. Once he starts knocking over dominoes, it's all worth it.
The humor is gross, quite simply. And very slap-sticky. But if you can handle the gross, and enjoy the slap-stick, it's really well done (not the easiest thing in the world to pull off, either). And then after the slap-stick comes the title event, which is nice. I think the epilogue-esque material could lose a couple of paragraphs and be better off for it, but that's a minor quibble.
It's short, it's cute, it's more narratively satisfying than another recent work with a similar title. Randall's short story is worth the time, give it a shot.

Disclaimer I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is such a quick and cute story. Although it makes me never want to go to a restaurant again, it just goes to show how a crazy turn of events (or several, in this case) can change the course of someone's life.
At the start, Daniel's on a mission to complete a goal he's promised in memory of his mother. Then all sorts of accidental and zany happenings occur, and we truly get an "unbelievable" story. It's one of those "so crazy it MUST be true" types of stories, and it definitely had me laughing and thoroughly involved until the very end. I'd love to read more stories like this from the author.

BOOK SYNOPSIS
Daniel Zurenski feels like a total loser, but he's about to encounter a crazy array of characters who are going to change his life forever. It starts with Fred Zimmerman (and his unique pet) who scrubs pots at The Spaghetti Barn restaurant and accidentally sets off a disastrous chain of events. There's the volatile restaurant manager Paolo and his greasy head chef nephew Tony. Then there's a fanatical sports reporter named Bruce Jagerski who dreams of winning a marathon if only he didn't have such a bizarre running style. All come together during marathon race weekend in this hilarious tale which will keep you guessing right to the finish line.
My Thoughts
Daniel Zurenski's tale about how he met his wife is a convulated comedy of errors that are so cleverly concocted and so seamlessly blended together when you finish this very short story you will feel compelled to read it again to double check for yourself how certain scenes played out.
I thoroughly enjoyed the way the author took random events and then wove them into the story in a way that they ended up creating a thread that changed Daniel's whole life in a very short period of time. Short though it is this story will warm your heart as well as give you a few shocks when least expected.
For sure you will cheer Daniel on in his efforts to grant his mothers last wish, you will also laugh yourself silly before you finish the story and smile along with Daniel after he tells how he met his daughters mother!
I will say that my favorite part was the mayhem caused by Fred and poor Rambo, you have to read it for yourself to find out why.
[EARC from Author in exchange for honest review]
An excellent story! Funny and well-written, keeps you reading and wondering what's going to happen! Highly recommended from this reader.
Greatly entertaining, I laughed, grimaced and smiled while thoroughly enjoying the twists and turns of events in this wonderful story. I highly recommend and look forward to the next story written by Preston Randall.
Characters are well rounded. The story is informative, fun and tragic...Lots of determination and twists. This author knows how to grab an audience on the first page, and follow through to the end. Most enjoyable!
A twisting tale of romance, love, death bed wishes, and personal salvation that winds through rejection, complications, and vomit. You'll need to pay attention as you're taken from point "A" to "b" to "3rd" to "yellow" to "love". And if you don't pay attention you'll still laugh and cheer the ending (I don't think it's a spoiler based on the title). I'm positive that if I retold this story with all of the characters and all of the twists it would be twice as long and no where near as funny - but somehow it's all in there.
Enjoy!
